Lenovo ThinkCentre 3652 Video Card
Today, nVidia rules the dedicated card market, while AMD is in second. There are really only two kinds of graphic cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed. Most new desktops will have at least one spot available for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. A graphics card computes and sends the resulting images to an external monitor where you can see the results. Dedicated video cards are pretty much required for high-end games on the desktop like Overwatch, Battlefield or Far Cry. Integrated display adapters will never be better than dedicated graphic cards, in general.
What signals that my video graphics card is almost going bad?
- Your display shows bits and pieces of the desktop
- The computer freezes when beginning a game
- The display does not show up when starting up
- The video card driver has problems installing all the way
